High-Performance Protonic Ceramic Electrochemical Cells

Dongyeon Kim et al.

Summary: Protonic ceramic electrochemical cells (PCECs) have been attracting attention due to their ability to convert chemical fuels into electricity at low temperatures. However, conventional sintering conditions often result in nonstoichiometric electrolytes and electrode coarsening, leading to performance degradation. In this study, PCECs were fabricated through a microwave-assisted sintering process, which effectively suppressed undesirable diffusion and growth, thus producing PCECs with stoichiometric electrolytes and nanostructured fuel electrodes. The resulting PCECs demonstrated higher electrochemical performance compared to conventionally sintered PCECs, highlighting the effectiveness of the ultrafast sintering technique.
